Special Offerings

Four times a year, our congregation contributes generously to special offerings that support important mission and outreach partners:

​

• One Great Hour of Sharing (Eastertide) 
  The three programs supported by One Great Hour of Sharing - Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, the Presbyterian Hunger Program, and Self-Development of People - all work in different ways to serve individuals and communities in need. From initial disaster response to ongoing community development, their work fits together to provide people with safety, sustenance, and hope.
   

• Presbyterian Communities of South Carolina (Mother’s Day) 
  This offering has been a special way of remembering and caring for older adults since 1954. The monies received from the Mother’s Day Offering are used exclusively for those residents who, through no fault of their own, have outlived their financial resources and need assistance to remain in Presbyterian Communities.
   

• Thornwell Home (Thanksgiving)
  Monies from this special collection support Thornwell Home, a nonprofit ministry committed to the most innovative and effective solutions to heal, strengthen, and empower children and families.
   

• Christmas Joy Offering (Christmastide) 
  This Offering addresses the support needed by some of our leaders, including supporting leadership development for communities of color, and providing support for Presbyterian church workers in their time of need.
